Answer:

20, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

smaller:   x

  larger:  2x - 16

x + 2x - 16 = 44

3x -16 = 44

3x = 60

x = 20

smaller:   x = 20

  larger:  2x - 16 = 2(20) - 16 = 24

Trava [24]

Answer:

b. 3x - (5y -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent "a number". Let y represent "another number."

The "3 times a number" is represented by 3x.

And "5 times another number less 7" is represented by 5y -7.

Answer:

B is Geometric and its next terms are 81, 243, 729...

See example below to complete other problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequences have a pattern that is exponential. Because of this, they do not have a constant rate of change using addition or subtraction. Instead, they have a constant rate through multiplication and division called a common ratio. Problem B is geometric because as you subtract each y value you get a different value each time. It is not a common difference. But if you divide, you find a common ratio.

Example: 27-9= 18                27/9 = 3

               9-3 = 6                   9/3 = 3

etc. Common ratio of 3
